Blackmagic Design BMD-VHUBUV/72CH Universal Videohub 72 Rack Frame

Blackmagic Design BMD-VHUBUV/72CH Universal Videohub 72 Rack Frame

The Blackmagic Design BMD-VHUBUV/72CH, also called as Universal Videohub 72 Rack Frame, comes in two models, this is for giving the customer the freedom to choose the rack frame chassis size they need to then plug in as many SDI interface cards as needed. Each BNC or optical fiber SDI interface card is professionally designed capable of supporting 4 inputs, 4 outputs and 4 deck control connections. That only means that the Universal Videohub 288 model is designed supporting up to 72 plug in SDI cards for up to 288 x 288 SDI routing. The Universal Videohub 72 model is then capable of supporting 18 plug in SDI cards for up to 72 x 72 SDI routing. Interface cards is capable to be BNC SDI or optical fiber SDI, and the customers is possible to mix and match between types in any order.

It is made ideal for the world's leading broadcasters and post production facilities, Universal Videohub comes inclulding the latest technologies, such as 3 Gb/s SDI, auto switching between SD, HD and 3 Gb/s SDI formats, RS-422 deck control ports for each crosspoint, full SDI re-clocking, multiple simultaneous video format support, ethernet and serial router crosspoint control, optional BNC SDI and optical fiber SDI interface cards, redundant crosspoint cards and redundant power supplies. No other router is designed for offering such leading edge technology and at such an affordable price.
